The Truth About VA Denials In 2025!

VA Denials & Missed Appointments | What Every Veteran Must Know
Is there a NEW LAW in 2025 that lets the VA deny your benefits for missing appointments? I investigated this claim and uncovered the REAL truth every veteran needs to know.
In this video, I break down: ✅ The myth vs. reality about VA appointment policies ✅ The critical difference between regular medical appointments and C&P exams ✅ What actually happens if you miss a Compensation & Pension exam ✅ Your rights and options if you've already missed an exam ✅ Step-by-step action plan to protect your VA benefits ✅ Rising denial rates in 2025 and what it means for you
BOTTOM LINE: There's NO new law, but the existing regulations are SERIOUS. Missing a C&P exam can result in your claim being denied or your rating reduced. Don't let misinformation cost you the benefits you've earned.
